My first HDR

PremiumMalt

Well just as the title says lol. I thought it looked pretty cool, but then again, every photo I see on these forums I think looks good. I did not do any post processing after I HDRed the image. Maybe someone can point me to the right direction for post processing. I used photomatix pro for the HDR and have cs4 for whatever lol.

This picture was taken off of my balcony in my apartments. It was really foggy outside to.

i like the hazy feel of it.

As a downside i dont like the composition with the bright lamp in the middle grabbing all the attention. there is something weird going on in the lower left corner as well

I think this could work really well at an abandoned area/desolate place

Thanks guys. That lower left corner puzzled me as well. I liked the lamp because of the glow it gave to the tree and the walkway around the tree. I would like to tone down the lamp but have no idea how to do that.

The fog sets a nice mood to this image.

Did you take a look at the Tutorial on the Photomatrix Web site by any chance??? http://www.hdrsoft.com/resources/tut_win/index.html

It's pretty easy to follow, just don't forget to hit next on the Top LEFT of each page.... they have two different tutorials for MAC and PC Users.

I like the differences in tones in your shot, the background colours are more colourful, and the forground are warm.

I also agree that blownout lamp in the shot is a little distracting.

Not bad for a first try at HDR .... Skippy
